This experience takes you onto one of Kilimanjaro’s most stunning and least crowded areas—the Lemosho Route. Starting high on the Shira Plateau, it offers wide-open views of Mount Kilimanjaro that you won’t get on rainforest day hikes. You’ll enjoy clear scenery of Cathedral Peak, Shira Cave and Shira 2, with constant visibility of the summit on clear days.
The plateau is rich in wildlife, and it’s common to spot buffalo, elephants, antelopes, colobus monkeys, blue monkeys and many bird species. This makes the hike both scenic and nature-filled.
We keep the experience personal, provide hotel pickup in Moshi, and include a lunch box and water so you can enjoy the day comfortably. With expert local guides and fewer crowds, this is one of the most rewarding ways to experience Kilimanjaro in just a single day.
